What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-8)(−6,−8) and is parallel to the line x-2y=6x−2y=6?

To find an equation that is parallel, the slopes must be equal. Find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

Use the slope  

−

and a given point  

(

and  

y

Step-by-step explanation:

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.

step-by-step explanation:

divide, then simplify your answer.

1. make -15.66 ÷   5.8 a fraction. then divide.

2. simplify.  

3. final answer.
